Simple food

Like all immigrants, I've brought the dishes from my home to my new country. My husband says this recipe is just plain wrong because of mixing meat and brown sugar. But the kids love them.

Cowboy Beans

1-2 lbs hamburger
1 onion chopped
2 cans baked beans
good squirt of bar-b-que sauce (about 2 Tablespoons)
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Brown onions and hamburger. Put aside.
3. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a baking dish, and then add the hamburger & onions.
4. Bake for 30-40 minutes.

*****************
Translation:
Hamburger = beef mince
Ketchup = tomato sauce
350 degrees fahrenheit = 180 degrees celsius

PS - Yes I am aware that the U.S. is the only country other than Liberia that doesn't use metric. Oh and Burma as well. 

Now, in order to give equal airtime, here is something that is TOTALLY wrong, but practically everyone here eats it. 


And if that wasn't enough this next one would take the cake. Or the toast.

Yep, spaghetti from a can on toast
